Snakes at Hogwarts

Chapter 52: The Old Bat’s Difficulties (Please recommend! Please collect!)

Supplement according to the original work

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exacting craftsmanship of potion preparation."

Snape's voice rang out in the cold and dim underground classroom. The voice was like a snake's whisper, making people unable to help but feel goosebumps.

While speaking, Snape looked intoxicated at several cooking cauldrons not far away. The rising heat from the cauldrons brought up a few wisps of white smoke.

His voice was very soft, but in the silent underground classroom, this voice was enough to convey every word to the ears of the freshmen.

"Since there is no silly waving of wands here, many of you idiots without brains won't believe this is magic." After saying that, Snape looked sarcastically in the direction of Gryffindor.

This made several Slytherin freshmen, including Malfoy, cover their mouths and giggle.

I really don’t know what Dumbledore thinks about letting Gryffindor and Slytherin take Snape’s Potions class together.

Sometimes, even though he knew the plot, Andros found that he still couldn't read Lao Deng's mind. He knew clearly about Snape's hatred of Gryffindor and what happened between him and Harry.

But Lao Deng still arranged it this way, didn’t he?

"I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of the slowly simmering crucible emitting white smoke and wafting out bursts of fragrance. You won't truly understand the wonder of the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, which makes people feel fascinated and confused. magic

I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death, but only if you are not the stupid fool I often encounter. "

Snape calmly spoke the same classic opening remarks as in the original book. The huge underground classroom was silent. Like Professor McGonagall, Snape could also easily silence the classroom.

And except for the Potter trio in the original book, it seems that no one else dared to do anything in Snape's class.

It is worth mentioning that during the roll call, Snape mocked Harry softly as in the original book, but when he mentioned Andros, he only raised his head and briefly looked at the latter.

It seems that now the old bat's attention is focused on Potter, and that's fine. As long as he continues to cause trouble for Potter, Andros will be happy to watch the savior suffer misfortune.

Naturally, he was very wise and escaped from Snape's dark eyes, which were as empty as black holes.

Are you kidding me, everyone knows this guy is a Legilimency master.

Such people can penetrate into a person's heart just by looking at each other.

Andros asked himself that there were too many secrets that Snape could not know, which was one of the reasons why he was frightened when he saw Snape.

Before he could fully master Occlumency, Andros felt that he should walk around Snape whenever he saw him and avoid any close contact with him.

"Potter" Snape suddenly looked in the direction of Gryffindor.

“What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to a mugwort infusion?”

Okay, it’s those three questions again. Andros curled his lips. The Water of Life and Death is a powerful sleeping pill, but it is a potion that is only prepared in the sixth grade. Even if Potter has previewed the textbook, there is no way he can know it.

Snape made it clear that he was trying to deal with Potter, the savior whom he disliked.

"I~I don't know." Sure enough, Harry's face was filled with confusion when he suddenly received Snape's question.He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ron, who

He also didn't think about how his good friend Ron could possibly know such a profound question with his IQ.

Oh, by the way, I forgot that they are Gryffindors and basically don't use their brains to think about problems.

Then there is nothing to say.

"It seems that reputation doesn't mean everything." Amid the roars of laughter from the Slytherins, Snape curled his lips in contempt.

"Let's try it again, Potter. If I asked you to find a bezoar, where would you look?"

"Look, I told Godfather that he will definitely go to find trouble with Scarhead, Ender. You were definitely worrying for nothing just now." Draco quietly said to Andros where Snape couldn't see him. said.

He looked extremely happy, and the smile lines on his face were already showing from the corners of his mouth that were covered with his hands.

Seeing the savior Potter stumble was definitely the happiest thing this vindictive little dragon had ever seen.

"I hope so. Your godfather seems difficult to get along with."

"Don't worry, he is very tolerant of Slytherin students, especially when he is in class with Gryffindors. Godfather will definitely only seek trouble for those Gryffindors." Draco said carelessly. Hold the guarantee ticket.

As expected by Andros, Harry struggled to give an answer to Snape's question.

Unless one has memorized thousands of magical herbs and mushrooms, or happens to have the answer to the question written down, no one can answer the question in this situation.

"I think you haven't read a single book, Potter. Because you didn't preview in advance, Gryffindor will deduct one point." Draco: "Why, it's only one point. Godfather deducted too little." "

Then, to the surprise of all Slytherins, Snape changed the subject.

"Lobach, tell the famous Porter what the answers to these three questions are." He turned around and stared at Andros closely.

finally come

Andros stood up and looked Snape directly in the eyes.

"Narcissus root powder can be mixed with mugwort to prepare a powerful sleeping pill, which is often called the water of life and death. Bezoars are generally produced in the stomachs of goats and have a strong detoxifying effect. Wolfsbane Aconitum There is no difference between them and Aconite nugata, they just have different names.”

"Hmph~" Snape snorted noncommittally.

"It seems that fame still has some effect. Unlike Potter who has a false reputation, Mr. Lobach seems to have prepared his homework in advance. Very good. Five points for Slytherin." He glanced at Andros, but in the end there was no more say what.

"Why don't you write this down?" Snape growled suddenly, looking at the Gryffindors around Harry who were looking at him stupidly.

Amidst the sounds of fumbling quills and rustling notes on parchment, Harry clearly heard Snape's voice. He swore that it was definitely the most vicious voice he had ever heard in his life.

"Why?" Before Harry could say anything, he was blocked by Ron beside him.

"Stop talking, remember what I told you, don't mess with the old bat."

Looking at Malfoy who was laughing loudly and Andros who was sitting next to him with a calm expression, Harry thought unconvinced.

Why does he know so much?

Can he memorize thousands of magical herbs and mushrooms completely? Hermione: I can really memorize them.

The poor savior didn't know yet that Andros didn't need to remember that much at all, he only needed to remember the three questions Harry was going to answer.

His morning sharpening was just to confirm the answers to these questions in a book.

"Ender, you did a great job." Hearing that Gryffindor had been deducted points because of Harry, and that Andros beside him had earned a lot of points for the house, Draco almost fainted with laughter from happiness.

"But how did you know Snape would ask you questions?"

"Why do I feel that Professor Snape is targeting you?" Zabini noticed something was wrong next to Draco.

"Have you offended Snape?" he asked.

What should I say?

The old bat targeted me because I burped at him

"I don't know. Maybe the professor thinks I can answer these questions."

...

"Today, we are going to prepare the simplest potion, a magic potion to treat boils." Snape flicked the wand, and a large piece of text instantly appeared on the blackboard.

That's the potion configuration step.

It seems that Snape also has profound attainments in the art of transformation, because he can cast such a difficult transformation spell as easily as Professor McGonagall.

"This is the simplest potion I can think of. I say it is simple because in my opinion, this is a potion that even a pig who knows nothing about magic can easily prepare." Snape spread the venom unceremoniously.

"They all say that Snape is the most unpopular professor, and I think this is true." Ron whispered to Harry in a low voice.

"I think you are smarter than pigs after all, right?" Looking in the direction of Gryffindor, Snape's face was full of sarcasm. Obviously, he did not agree with what he just said.

"Don't talk while I'm talking, Weasley. Maybe I should educate you on politeness. Five points from Gryffindor."

Ron was indeed not very smart, and he dared to talk to Snape even after knowing that he was focusing on Harry.

Do you really think Snape is blind?

"Now, carefully remember the key points of what I said. I will only say it once." After venting hard, Snape finally came into his own.

In fact, apart from the vicious ridicule, he spoke quite well, explaining the performance of the potion in each period and the key points of each step very clearly.

After all, he is the youngest potion master in this century. He can probably prepare such a simple potion with his eyes closed.

"Now, start configuring the potion." Everyone was divided into two groups, and Snape ordered them to start configuring the potion.

Due to the addition of Andros, this freshmen class happened to have an odd number, which meant that one person needed to prepare the potions independently without any helpers.

No need to think about it, this person is none other than Andros.

"I don't think the excellent Mr. Lobach needs an assistant."

Snape walked back and forth in the classroom, stopping behind a group from time to time to watch their operations.

This is actually a very scary thing. When you are concentrating on playing with the potion according to the steps on the blackboard, a pair of emotionless eyes are watching you quietly behind you. His expression is full of sarcasm, as if you are What a stupid thing to do.

His breath was so cold that you couldn't help but stand up on your hair.

With such low air pressure, it would be strange if there were no problems

Except for Draco, almost everyone was scolded mercilessly by Snape, even Andros was no exception.

This was his first contact with chemistry in the magical world, and it was inevitable that he would be a little unfamiliar with many operations.

Fortunately, his mental endurance was pretty good. Even when faced with Snape's cynicism, he did not lose his composure and all operations were carried out in an orderly manner.

This made Snape snort and walk past him, going to roar at the other two Gryffindor students. "Have your two brains been replaced with those of a troll?"

"Did I not explain it clearly enough? Make sure the slugs are cooked just right. They only need to change color slightly. Are you two planning to make soup with slugs?"

"Okay, now if you have been correct, you will see pink smoke rising from the crucible."

Before Snape could finish his words, an accident happened.

I think you all know by now that the careless Gryffindor burned his own cauldron.
